Anthropic's Claude Code adds customizable mods for enhanced functionality

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has introduced "mods" for Claude Code, a feature that allows users to customize the behavior and appearance of the coding assistant. These mods are JavaScript or TypeScript files that act as event handlers, triggering custom functions in response to specific actions within Claude Code, such as tool calls or prompt submissions. Unlike previous extension methods like settings hooks or skills, mods operate directly within Claude Code, enabling them to modify the user interface, step into tool calls, or execute commands without a full Claude turn. AI
